The Source Weekly has been Central Oregon’s locally owned news outlet for over 23 years. We have always been the definition of "support local." Our success in navigating this new world is tied to the success we experience in pulling together for the common good.

Quality local journalism takes a group of dedicated reporters passionate about democracy and open government. This story is the result of our hard work, and in normal times, the result of the support of the advertisers in Central Oregon. In the age of COVID-19, however, that support has taken a hit—but that’s where you come in.

Happy Hour Guide Summer 2017

Summer Sippin' Starts Here

When it comes to good summer feels, what could be better than a cold drink in your hand, the sun streaming down and the promise of a tab that's not going to break the bank? If you ask us, not much —unless that experience is prefaced by another day spent crushing it on the mountain, the river or the trail.

As you go about your crush-itude this summer, stash this handy Happy Hour Guide in your pack so you'll be ready to fully enjoy all that Central Oregon has to offer. After biking, hiking, boarding, a lazy day in the hammock, or even a day crushing it at work, your summer sippin' should start here.
